Children in Cambridge can now train to be ninjas and gymnasts after Gymfinity Kids announced it was opening a massive fitness club in the city.

Cambridgeshire Live can reveal the fitness chain will officially open its doors in the Beehive Centre near Asda and Homesense as the area’s first gymnastics and ninja club for children.

The gym will also boast trampolines and a giant foam pit for children to dive into.

The 11,000 sq ft club is next door to DW Sports & Fitness Club and offers classes to children from three months to 16 years old in a state-of-the-art gym.

Ruth Chapman, product director, said: “With over 100 years of gymnastics and sports coaching experience combined every child that walks through our doors is encouraged to have fun developing new skills.

"Our innovative curriculum isn’t based on who is the most elite, but on the adventure of your own child's learning journey."

The club offers a range of services including birthday party services and fun holiday camps, free baby balance classes, adult classes, pre-school sessions and a café.

To Gymfinity and beyond

Bosses of the gym plan for it to open by the end of next month (February 2019) and it could bring about 30 new jobs.

Gymfinity coaches have already been busy ahead of the opening.

Operations manager, Matt Tomlinson, said: “All our new coaches have undertaken many hours of training and are committed to enriching self-esteem, building confidence and nurturing children day in day out whilst delivering our innovative curriculum.”
